THE HYMN OF THE NATIVITY.

Ertract from Millions Beautiful Ode.l
It was the winter wild,
While the heaven born child
All meanly wrapt in the rude manger
lies
Nature in awe to Him
Had dofft her gaudy trim,
With her great Master SO to sympathize:
It vas no season then for her
To wanton with the sun, her lusty para
mour.
But peaceful was the night,
Wherein the Prince Of light
His reign of peace upon the earth began:
The Winds with wonder whist
Smoothly the waters kist,
whispering new joys to the mild ocean,
who now hath quite forgot to rave,
While birds Of calm sit brooding on the
charmed wave.
The shepherds on the lawn,
Or e'er the point of dawn,
Sat simply cllatting in a rustic row;
Full little thought they then
That the mighty Pan
Was kindly come to live with them be-
low;
Perhaps their loves, or else their sheep,
Was ali that did their silly thoughts 50 busy
keep
When such music sweet
Their hearts ard ears did greet,
As never was by mortal finger strook,
Diginely-warbled voice
4 Arsworins5 the stringed noise,
As all their souls In blisstu! rapture took;
The air such pleasure loath to lose,
Wit. thousand echoes still proiongs each
heavenly close.
Such music (as 'lissaid)
Before vas never made,
But hen af Old tie sens Of morning
sang,
! While The Greater great
] His consultations set,
| Ant the Tell-balanced world on hinges
| hung,
And cast their dark foundations deep,
And bid the Eelt'ring waves their coy
channel keep.
But see the Virgin blest
| Hath lid her Babe to rest,
Tine is our tedious song should have al
ending;
| Heavens youngest teemed star
Hath fix'd her polish'd car,
Her sleeping Lord with handmade LAM
attending;
And still about the ,courtly stable
Bright-harness'd Angels sit in order ser
viceable.

A BUSHEL OF NEWS

Tho Tobacco and Brandy Tax to Go.

Mr.. Randall was at the White
House yesterday at the Presidents re-
quest. After his 7isit he said to a
North Carolina Representatives: "a
tariff bill will be introduced in the
House that will not affect the indus
trial interests or disturb the business
OF the country 1t will pass the House,
and if it fails 70 become law the re-
sponsibility will be with the Republi-
can side OF the Senate. 1t will pro-
vide for the repeal of the tobacco and
brandy tax. A bill too, very much
like the Henderson bill of the last
Congress will pass the House. There
is misapprehension as to the Presi-
dents position on the internal revenue
question, and he. may deem it necess-
airy to send supplemental message to
Cong ess on the subject. He does
not oppose the repeal of the tobacco
and brandy tax; and, furthermore,
he believes that the internal revenue
laws are oppressive as enforced under
existing legislation Fash, Cor,
Ne,os and Observer.

"H ome Sweet Home"

In the spring 1883, the two great
armies of our civil war were encamp-
ed on either side Of the Rappahannock
river. As the evening shades drew on,
the band of the Federal army began
to play the patriotic notes of the "Star
Spangied Banner" and as the music
foated over the waters Of the river,
the boys in gray responded with the
equally patriotic strains of the "Bon-
ME Blue Flag" It was born within
the soul of single soldier in one of
these bands of music to begin tender
and sweeter air, and slowly, as he
played it, the instruments on the I'm
ion side joined in, until finally great
and mighty chorus swelled up and
down both armies, for the soul inspir-
ing notes of "Home Sweet Home
fioated charmingly in the air. Fol
the time being both armies forgot grim
war. and "Three Cheers for Home" re
sumed to the skies from both sides Of
the river, as each thought of his sweet
home and the loved ones there.
"And something on the soldiers cheeks
| Washed off the stains of powder"

Special Correspondence TO the Sentinel
EDITOR SENTINEL:-The late as
sembling of Congress and the Presi-
dents message have put the Wilkes
politicians to thinking. They are
glad to find Cleveland man capable
of rising with the tide of affairs
and triumphantly steering his broad
minded course through all opposing
breakers, man rot governed by
prejudice Of party hate, but by
clear and unbiased reason embracing
the general welfare OF the whole peo-
pie, and as such they see that he pre-
fers to reduce the tariff, frst,-being a
tax on the necessaries Of life, conse-
quently felt by all the people-second
the internal revenue, which being an
indirect tax on luxuries and paid by
the consumer of the same is volun-
tary tax.
Cleveland's position Oh these cues
ricns is in accordance with true politi-
cal economy, SO we people in Western
North Carolina cant't feel sighted
because he prefers the reduction of the
tariff to that Of our pet hobby, the in
ternai revenue. But still our con-
